Bekkers Ultimate Blind Tasting Challenge – Session 2: 27th September

Grenache and Gourmet Festival 2026
Grenache Options: Bekkers Ultimate Blind Tasting Challenge

After three sold-out sessions in 2025 the Bekkers Ultimate Blind Tasting Challenge returns for the 2026 McLaren Vale Grenache and Gourmet festival.

Bekkers will once again host three sessions of “Grenache Options” – a guided tasting adventure where players are challenged to identify the hidden McLaren Vale Grenache cunningly concealed amongst some of the world’s finest Grenache-based red wines.

Answer a series of entertaining multiple-choice questions that test your palate and wine knowledge – exploring everything from country and region to aromas and winemaking styles. Each round is designed to stir both the palate and the intellect. Under the tutelage of Emmanuelle Bekkers, whose knowledge is steeped in the grand traditions of Europe, guests shall be enlightened upon the hallmarks of both Australian and international Grenache.

Whether you are a seasoned Olympian of the vine or just in it for the fun and education, Grenache Options is the perfect way to sip, guess, learn—and uncover hidden truths in every glass.

Let the games begin. Will you master Grenache Options?

We do hope that you can join us.
Emmanuelle and Toby Bekkers
